Athlete quote: "My major is astronautical engineering, so I figured the Air Force was the best way to go for that, plus they have an outstanding academic record. I figured if the courses were hard and the swimming was hard as well, it would push me. I knew it would be tough, but you get job experience while you are there and it looks good on resumes so you have job security. Also, I liked the military aspect of it. My family is mostly military, so it would be more comfortable for me."
